In brief
The Advanced section of the Settings groups together the sensitive operations: database encryption / decryption, access to the backup, kiosk mode and diagnostics available only in development.
Who / when
For the Admin, at installation (enable encryption) and for maintenance operations.
How to access
Admin → Settings → Advanced section (left column).
Requirements
🔑 Manage settings
Database encryption
This is the most important point of this section. PosCaisse can encrypt the entire local database (SQLCipher), so that no one can read your data without the key.
Two ways to encrypt:
Encrypt with the admin PIN: the key is derived from the administrator PIN.
Encrypt with a password: you define a dedicated password.
To revert: Decrypt the database (by entering the admin PIN or the password).
Other accesses in the Advanced section
Backup → Backup & restore.
Kiosk mode: locking of the register in dedicated mode if the hardware and configuration allow it.
Development tools: present only in the development version.
Procedure: enable encryption
Admin → Settings → Advanced.
Choose Encrypt with admin PIN or Encrypt with password.
Enter/confirm the key.
Restart the register to apply.
Messages & edge cases
Enabling/disabling encryption requires a restart.
An incorrect admin PIN or a wrong password prevents decryption.
Tips
Enable encryption right at installation (empty database), it is the simplest moment — see Initial setup & sign-in.
